whcra they may become.nccessary as a species of !ettlernent or jointure in the event of their aurvivinz, their husbands. Another class forms the converse of the preceding one. - It conipre 'bends many to whom your Committee consider that the existing pin. lions should be continued for the present; but where the term of the grant should, be limited to another, and generally a shorter, period, than that which was originally fixed. From a very few of the pensioners, as your Committee have already stated, they have not obtained an answer to their inquiries. TI-is has arisen, in all cases but one, in consequence of the absence of the parties from F r ngland. Your Committee are of opinion, that in respect to these few instances, the Government on its own responsibility may he em powered to regrant these pensions, if on a full examination it is found that the parties are entitled to claim them on the principles laid down in this Report, every such regrant being laid on the table of the House of Commons, with an explanation of the principles on which it has been advised. The last class on the list comprises those pensions which, in the judgment of the Committee, ought not to be continued. In submit- ting this recommendation, your Committee cannot but tee! considerable reluctance, because they are well aware that, in consequence of the continued renewal of civil.list pensicns from reign to reign, and even after a change of dynasty, an expectation was created in the minds of parties that these perisicns should not be diiturbed. But, giving full weight to these objections, your Committee•, however reluctant they may feel, cannot shrink from the performance of the duty imposed upon them by the House. They are, however, of opinion that provi sion should be made for the payment of the amount already oue to all those parties whose pensions are proposed to be susi.ended or wholly discontinued. Your Committee cannot close this Report without calling the atten. tion of the House to the progressive advancement of sound and consti tutional principles in reference to this subject. In the early part of the reign of George 111., the power of the Crown in granting pensions was wholly unrestrained. In England no limits were imposed beyond the discretion of the Minister, and the necessities of the Civil List. In Ireland the Sovereign possessed and exercised an unli mited right—both as to the amount, and as to the duration of the grant—extending even to the injury of succeeding Sovereigns. In Scotland, until 1810, an unresisted power existed of charging the hered:tary revenue. No provision was made to afford adequate security in this respect through the responsibility of the Ministers, or to allow public opinion to pronounce a judgment upon the advice given to the Sovereign. When these circumstances arc considered, it is rather matter of surprise to your Committee that cases of abuse have not occurred much more frequently than has been the case. At the present time not only is the amount of pensions limited, but the principles on which pensions can hereafter be granted are strictly deflnetlisy law, and an immediate responsibility to Parliament is provided for. These are the great and important improvements ; but, at the same time, your Committee feel that some further recommendations are required from them, in order to give additional security against future abuse. 1. They recommend that in the case of all future civil list pensions the warrant or other instrument of appointment should set forth dis tinctl7 the reason and motive of the grant. This will be a check against inconsiderate recommendations for pensions, and will furnish to l'arlia. tn ent hereafter that ready information which your Committee have round so much difficulty in obtaining. a. They recommend that where pensions are granted for services to persons other thin the individual by whom the services were rendered, care should be taken, if these pensions are granted for younger live', that ibe amount of pensions should be reduced so as to prevent any undue inilrcase of charge to the public. 'indeed, except under very pe culiar circutnstances, it is the opinion of your Committee that such grants should be avoided, and all the facts connected with them consi dered with the greatest care. 3. They recommend, that in cases where pensions are granted as acts of Royal bounty for the relief of distress, it should be distinctly Provided tli:t such grants should cease when the circumstances of the parties no longe.'required their continuance. This principle ha; already been acted on in various cases, even where a pension had been gran:!'d for public services, highly to the credit of the parties concerned, among Whom the names of Viscount Sidmouth, tle late Lord Farnborough, Mr. Moore, Mr. Marsden, and Mr. Charles Bathurst are honourably distinguished. The House will also bear in mind that Civil List pensions have been surrendered on the same grounds, and that for several years the pen. sions granted to the Duchess of Newcastle, Lord Reay, Mrs. Percy Smith, and Lady Seymour, have ceased by the voluntary acts of the parties interested. 4. They recommend that under no circumstances should the mere combination of poverty with the hereditary rank of the Peerage be con. sidered as a justification of a grant of a pension. It is far from being the wish of your Committee to express an opinion that a Peer should nut have the same inducements to exertion, and should not share in the same rewards for services rendered, which are enjoyed by other classes of her Majesty's subjects ; but your Committee consider, no less for the honour of the Peerage itself, than tor the interests of the public ser. vice, that the system of granting Civil List pensions to the members of the Peerage, merely because they are reduced in their circumstances, should be altogether discontinued. 5. In order to avoid any possible doubt or misconception hereafter, your Committee recommend that enactments with respect to the Irish and Scotch revenue, analogous to those contained in the English statute of Ist Anne, should be made part of the Bill which provides for the re. grant of the Civil List pensions. 6. They recommend that all pensions to be granted should beheld liable to deduction or suspension in the event of the parties being appointed to office in the public service, thus rendering the continuance of the pensions unnecessary, either for a time or permanently. The course has been followed in some cases of grants of pensions submitted to your Committee, and might. be advantageously extended further. Your Committee have now concluded their important and laborious duties, and have only to recommend that a provision be made on the Consolidated Fund for the pensions charged on the Civil List, trans. /erred to ,the Consolidated Fund, or charged on the per cent. du. ties, agreeably to the tenour of this Report ; and in order that Parlia ment may be satisfied that these principles are strictly czaried into effect, your Committee recommend that a return of pensions which her Ma jesty may be pleased to regrant shall he laid on the table of the House within ten days of the opening of next Session.—July, 1838. PENSION COMMITTEE. ( From the Morning Post.) The silence which we thought it our duty to maintain when we published on Thursday ra.t the report of the Pension Committee, as to the individu.ds affected by its rec':.mmenda tions, is no longer imposed upon us. Every particular has already gone forth to the world by order of the House of Commons, and we are at liberty to compare the ac::ount of suf fering and of injustice inflicted on individuals on the one band, with the shabby amount of gain to be dishonourably and, as we think, dishonestly acquired for the public on the other. The following persons have, it would seem, pi eferred the resignation of an income which they enjoyed from the bounty of the Crown (and which the Royal donors and the grateful receivers equally suppo , •ed to be granted securely for the life of the possessors), to the unpleasant alternative of having their private affairs investigated by a Select Committee of t h e House of Commous. The saving to the public under this head is 3,587/. at the utmost ; but from this amount it would be fair to deduct the amount of pensions temporarily surren dered, on the parties to whom they have been granted being appointed to any lucrative office. The list is thus given in The appendix to the report : PESIONS RESIGN D. _Aston, Lord-971. Aixkland, Lord-3831.; ceased on Lord Auckland's appointment in 1830 Berens, Lady Catherine-811.

The second head of reduction consists of pensions to be suspended while the circumstances of the parties receiving them remain uncharged. It produces to the public the twig nificent saving fi-r the present of 2,6171., subject, however, to considerable ruductioq by eontittg,rteits. It is t! to set forth by the Committee :--- Pvrisionii to he for the present suspended, end to Le re grented on the respinsibility of the Gtivernthent, dioutii the circinnstenceA of the parties render it necessary hereafter, when !he specitii.-d contingencies shall have ocenrred.

The fourth head of reduction is that absolute and perma nent one of pensions to be entirely and finally abolished. This will not make the nation much richer in purse, however it may expose the poverty of spirit which .characterises its rulers. The saving to be accomplished under this head is 3,3121., and the names of the sufferers are thus given in the appendix to the report Pensions for which the Committee do not consider it expedient that foture provision should be made.

It thus appears that the total saving to the country from a manifest breach of faith with a numerous body of ihdividuais, amounts in-the aggregate to no more than 9,5161., an induce ment to such a proceeding, which makes the Frocet ding itself ss-en, even more pitiful and paltry, if that be possible, than it did before the result was known It further appears from the Report that the Committee in the course of its proceedings divided forty • seven times, and that in every one cf these divisions the Chancellor of the Exche quer was in favour of the pensions, and Mr. Hume against them. We will, therefore, for the sake of clearne , s, take the names of these two Members of the Committee as expo nents of the two sides in every division—a course recommended by the remarkable fact, that they were never on the same side by any accident, and that upon one occasion Mr. Flume divided alone, in apposition to a pension which every other Membrr present supported, in concurrence with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. At the second meeting, held on the 15th of February, it was resell ed : " That for the purpose of facilitating the business of the Committee, the pensions should be divided into two classes, viz.:— " 1. Pensions of the continuance of which no doubt exists at present. " 2.. Pensions to be inquired into at a future stage of the inves. tigation." Before the Committee proceeded, however, in this work of classification, it was moved by Mr. Villiers Stuart— a That, when a pension has been granted exclusively as a reward for services, it dots not appear expedient to inquire into the private circum. stances of the patties now enjoying it." An amendment was proposed to insert before the word " services" the word " public," and the first division of the Committee took place, when Mr. Hume's party, for the inser. tion of the word " public." amounted to three, and the party of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for its rejection, to nine. On the same day another preliminary motion was made, viz : " That all correspondence with parties for the purpose of obtaining further information should henceforth emanate from the Chairman of the Committee. No light is thrown by the report upon the object of this motion. It seems probable that its purpose was to divest the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as much as possible. of the in fluence and authority in the Committee which his official means of procuring information might naturally give him. On the division the Chancellor of the Exchequer mustered 7 votes, and Mr. Hume only 4. The following divisions, to the num ber of 25, relate to individual pensions, the question in each case being, whether they should be placed in class I or class 2, in every instance, as we have already observed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer being in favour of class 1, and Mr. flame in favour of class 2. The following is the list of those in respect to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer was the victorious leader :- 1. Dame Airey. 2. Arabella Batley. 3. .I:and S. Charlotte S. Birou de Goutaut. 4. Isabella Birt, J. F. Ewart, and Mary Shaw. 3. Charles 0. Boa les. 6. Lady Anna Maria Dawson. 7. E. T. and E. C. H. Brooksbank. 8. Sir Thomas Henry Browne. 9. Caroline, Jane, and Arabella Margaret Calera& 10. Mary Frances Campbell. 11. Lucretia Ciciaporci. 12. Dowager Lady Clare. 13. Wm., James, F., and John B. Dundas. 14. Lady Cecilia Latouche. 15. Edward Leeves. 16. Henrietta Wharton Mackenzie. 17 Isabella and Mary Rollo. 18. Ch. H. Maria Wellington. The following is the less fortunate list of pensions in re spect to which Mr. Hume, achieving triumphs over the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, condemned to encounter the dangers of class 2. 1. Lord Aylmer and H. 'l'. W. Alymer. 2. Charlotte Bathurst (6001.), with reversion to four daughters. 3. Isabella Blair (now Binning), by casting vote of Chairman. 4. Lawrence Bradshaw. .. Arabella Hamilton. 6. Lady Mary Hay (two pensions). 7. Catherineand Jane Arbuthnot. On the 15th of May, and at this point of the proceedings, it was resolved : " That it is expedient to form a new class, ♦iz : " CLASS 3. Pensions which the Committee consider ought to be dis. continued, unless fresh evidence should be produced." _ _ And after some intervening business it was resolved— " That it is expedient to form a new crass, viz.:— " CLASS 4. Such pensions as cught to be in abeyance, the present circumstances of the parties not requiring them." After the new system of classification we still find the Chan cellor of the Exchequer as before the patron of class 1, while Mr. Hume transfers his affection to the two new classes, 3 and 4. We mill thereoro resume in the first place the series of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's victories :- 19. Catherine and Jane Arbuthnot. 20. Mary Campbell. 111. Marianna Cockburn. •22. Emma Finucone. '23. Children cf John Hamilton, deceased. :4. Augustus Hobart. 25. Earl of Huntingdon (by casting vote of Chairman—the number bein,; 6 for I,l:icit,g ttc pciislon in Cla” 1, and G for postponing the decision.) 26. Viscount Molesworth. 27. C E. iNl'Leilan (now Lambert.) :18. Lady Louisa Murray. 29. Rosamond Harriett Pennell. 30. Sir G. Rich. 31. Lady Mary Hay. 32. Earl of llothes (by casting vote of Chairman, the number being 5 on each side). 33. Lord Aylmer and Admiral Aylmer. (This division, the hut in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer beat Mr. flume, was upon a motion made by the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, in reference to a former adverse decision of the Committee. The • Chancellor of the Exchequer's motion was—" That, on re-con. sideration of the services of Admiral Aylmer, it is not expedi. ent that this pension should b: discontinued. The division was 12 to 2. Mr. Ph;lpotts being the Member who supported Mr. Hume.) We have now only to quote the instances in which, subse quently to the two new resolutions relating to classification, Mr. Hume prerdlecl over the Chancellor or the Exchequer. 8. Lord Mountford condemned to class 3 (this vote was afterwards re considered, and on further circumstances being stated, the pen sion was transferred to class 1). 9. Mary Dulcibella Drummond consigned to class 4. (This was de cided by the casting vote of the Chairman). 10. Thomas Knox Holmes. (This gcntkman is Meson of W. Holmes, Esq., and the Committee decided by a majority of 7 to 5 against the motion of the Chant:o;or of the Exchequer, that the pension be placed in class one, and in favour of the amendment of Mr. Grote that this pension be continued fur the life of Mr. William Holmes the father.) 11. Viscount Hereford. 12. The Marchioness of Westmeath. (This pension was placed in class :Shy the vote of the Committee, but it, was afterwards re-consi dered and find to he s. cured by patent tor life. It was fore transferred to class 1.) We hare thus pl.lced our readers in possession of the recom mendations of the Committee on pensions. from the labours of which some pet•sons were foolish enough to expect tesults of Importance to the country its a financial point of view. We base carefully abstracted also all the information the Report conveys, as to the course of proc:ei•dings in the Committee. The number of questions on which the Committee divided appears to have been no less than 47 ; although we recol lect that a Jlinister•ial journal boasted a few days ago of the pension Committee having concurred unanimously i n their Repo: t. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE.CHANCELLOR'S COURT, .le.r.r 28, BOYD V. BUCKI.V. This was a bill filled by the widow of a testator named Boyd avainst the executers of her husband. Under tier mar , riagc settlement Mrs. Boyd was entitled to an annuity of 2901. a year, depending upon a leasehold interest which expired in 1834. Her husband, in anticipation of that event, directed a suffici-nt potion of the inco.ne of his estate to-be set apart to cm.tinue to her the annuity for her life. The executors ad. mitted they hat/ received assets amom•ting to 40.000/., but it was alleged that, after payment of legacies and annuities to other patties, there was not sullici,mt income of the residue of the prop.rty (to which the widow was independently entitled for life) to pay her more than about 2001. a year. Mrs. Boyd prayed by the bill to have the deficiency made good out of the capital, but an objection was taken for want of parties, that the persons interested in the capital of the residue were not parties to the suit. His lioNoca thought the will sufficiently doubtful opin the point to require the presence of all the residuary legatees. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE submitted, if the Bill were dismissed, that Mrs. Boyd should have her costs out of the estate. His HoNoutt seemed to think that reasonable, and the ease stood over fur Mrs. Boyd to make her election. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ROME CIRCUIT GUILFORD, JULY 27. BASINGSTOKE CANAL CONIPANY V. TIIE LONDON AND SOCTII- AMPTON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action of ejectment brought by the Basing stoke Caual Company against the London and Southampton Railway Company, to establish the right of the former Com pany to compensation for certain encroachments, which it was alleged had been made by the Railway Company upon the property of the Canal Company, in four different parishes, lying in the course of the railway from London to Woking. The case was expected to occupy a considerable time, but after two or three witnesses had been examined, it was agreed between the parties that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiffs, subject to a reference to a gentleman at the bar.

TOZCR. This was an astion brought to recover the sum of 191. 103. far tto cheval frames made for the Duchess of Sutherland, and which the plain. tiffhad b-en employed on by the defendant ; 154 had been paid into Court. Mr. Ma noN said that the defendant had been engaged b, the Duche,s of Sutherland to make a splendid cheval screen, for which he was to be paid 70 guineas by her Grace; and he should be able to prove that the plaintiff was fully entitled to what he now asked for the carving of that and another frame. It was true that what was, in the first instance, in. tended to have been done for some of the ornamental parts of the work, hael been changed into robins— . (laughter)—but they would remember. that when allusion was made in one of the most popular plays to Venus and her doves, a lady was made to say, "For her part, she liked duck and green peas"—(laughter)—so with the defendan', if he preferred ro. bins to doves, it was, as with the lady, a matter of taste, for which he must pay. George Clay was apprentice to the plaintiff; who resides in Cleveland. street, Fitzroy-square. The defendant carries on business in I)uke.street, Portland-place. The plaintiff was engaged on the cheval screen ; and during the time, the defendant cLiled, and said the style of the palm leaves was not to his taste, and added that he did not care about the ex. pense, but he would have it done according to his wish. The alt era. tions were made, the screen was taken home, and then the robins were substituted for the doves; a part of the frame was cut away, and an other put in its place. Considers the demand fair. Cross-examined—Does not know whether the birds are robins or doves—(the frame was produced in Court). The defendant said it wl:s for the Duchess of Sutherland. There were some stuffed robins in the shop, b►tt no doves.—(Loud laughter.) The doves were "roughed cut," and nailed on in the first instance. Mr. Stephens, of Wellg-street, Oxford.street, carver and gilder, consi. dered the work well done. The Umma-SticatFr— Can you tell what birds were now represented in the frame 2—No ; all I can say is, they are birds.—(A laugh.) Perhaps if their breasts were red they would look more like robins than they do now p—i think they would.—(Laughter.) Mr. MAHON—Why, don't you see one of them is getting his pinions ready to take flight.—(Renewed cheering.) Mr. MANSELL, for the defendant, said his client had a very responsible task to supply her Grace with an article of great taste, anti he had been fully justified in refusing to pay what had been demanded for the plain. tiff's work. W. Thornton, the defendant's foreman, was called to prove that an agreement had been made to do the work for Si, or 91., but his evidence was not very clear on that Point. Mr. Raphael Fume, also in 'the defendant's service, Was called for a like purpose. Cross.examined—The robins were placed where they now are by Mr. Tozer. The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was somewhat extraordinary that they should have been gilt if they were valueless. Mr. MAisoN (to the witness)—Do you understand birds ? a sparrow from a goose. '=-Yes, I know No doubt, and can carve a goose ?—Yes. Well then, take your flight before I take you for one. Mr. Watson, of Piccadilly, carver, valued the work done at Si. or 91. The robins were so badly done, that they were not fit for the Duchess of Sutherland, or any body else. Mr. MAHON—They are not equal to the carving of Benvenuto Cellini ? Witness—l never heard before that Cellini carved in wood.—(Laughter.) Mr. Cribb, of King street, Covent garden, carver and gilder, estimated the work at Si. or 91. There was nothing like the feeling of an artist about it. It Is not what Gibbon would have called carving. Mr. MAHON—IS that the Gibbon of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire? Mr. Cribb—l think you know as much about carving as about Benvenuto Cellini.--(Loud laughter.) The Gibbon I spoke of was Mr. Grimsby Gibbon, the celebrated carver. If I had such robins as these I would put them behind the fire. The UNDER-SHERIFF—You would roast them. Mr. Cribb—l woted broil them. The UNDER.SIIERIFF—One of them looks like a woodpecker to me.— (A laugh.) Mr. Cribb—On the plan they look like pigeons. Mr. MatioN—Yes, wood pigeons. You would not send such robins to the Duchess of Sutherland, or even to her waiting.maid ? Mr. Cribb— Yes, to her waiting-maid I would. Mr. Gibbs Rogers, of Church-street, Soho, considered the work was not worth snore than 8/ or 91.; if done well, it would have cost twenty guineas. Cross-examined—lt was not, perhaps, fit for the Duchess of Suther. land. Mr. Matrox replied, and said the defendant had called Mr. Cribb and Mr. Rogers, who were antiquaries, to bamboozle the jury with their fine taste.—( A laugh.) The UNDER-SHERIFF having summed up the case, The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.--It is StrontZly ru moured here that her Majesty has taken Norris Castle for a month, for the purpose of taking occasional aquatic excursions within the Isle of Wight, on board the Emerald cutter, and that the yacht Royal George will not be employed this summer, notwithstanding her having been equipped for the purpi ise.—Brighton Gazelle. ' NEW CHURCHES.—Froin the eighteenth annual report of her Majesty's Commissioners for building new churches, just printed by order of the House of Commons, it appears that since the date of the last report five churches have been completed, affording accommo dation for 4,885 persons, including 3,211 free seats for the use of the poor. In the whole, 225 churches and chapels have now been completed, and provision made therein for 297,912 persons, ineluding 164,495 free scats. In addition to these, there are 18 churches now in the course cf erection, plans for nine others have been approved of, plans for eight are under consideration, and conditional grants for the same purpose have been made to thirty.two places. By means of the Commissioners, addi. tions have also been made to a great number of burial grounds, and va. rims other privileges bestowed. On Friday an over-driven polled ox created much alarm, and effected considerable mischief in the Tower, Tower-hid, and the immediate neighbourhood. The animal got separated from a drove of other oxen in the Minories, and proceeded towards the fortress in a wild state, knocking down several persons on its way. On Tower-h;11 the animal upset a box-cab, horse and all, turning it over with the great. est ease. The driver escaped with a few contusions, but his vehic!e %% at tarok; nta pieces. The infuriated ox then made its way to Tower. street, at the end of which place it was met by a number of vs:carat ors and labourers engaged in repairing the street and laying down new water-pipes, who attacked it with pickaxes, shovels, and other weapons. The animal bade defiance to this formidable array of men and weapons for some time. At length the shouting and bawling of the people caused the ox to turn round, and away it started at full speed towards the Tower. The sentines at the western gate endeavoured to stop its admission within the walls, and presented arms; the ox knocked down one of them, and forced the musket from the hands of the others, and passing the Spur.guard, proceeded over the bridge until it reached the interior, of the fortress, where the warders, with their drawn swords, made an attempt, but without success, to stop its further progress. The " beef eaters" were compelled to make a precipitate retreat, and the ox, after passing the Jewel Office and the Armouries, returned again towards the Gold Chain public-house, encountering in its mad career a girl, the daughter of the mess-master of the Rifle Brigade, who was thrown down, and, we are sorry to add, very seriously hurt. When the ox reached that part of the Tower called the Cold-harbour, near the draw-bridge, several Whitechepel butchers got upon the lines above, and threw a rope with a slip noose over its head, by which it was secured, and prevented from doing further mischief, Other oxen were introduced, and the animal was led out of the Tower, which perhaps never received so troublesome a visitor be. fore. An immense concourse of people were collected on Tower-hill, but they took care to keep at a respectful distance from the beast. The drovers are much to blame in not using morecare and caution in driving oxen through the streets of the metropolis. 'rise ox, for some time be fore it entered the Tower, chased a man wearing a white jacket and apron. The man, with the greatest dexterity avoided injury by throw. ing his apron on the animal's head, and at the same mo.nent stepping aside The warden in their scarlet uniforms, and with drawn swords, tumbling over each other when the animal refused to make a retreat, pastook very much of the ludicrous. Those men have often met the enemy in a field of battle, and on many occasions have bravely faced a park of artillery, and were terrified at the sight of a polled ox, who was a match for a whole regiment. " The course of true love never did run, smooth." An unusual bustle was created in Ealing on Wednesday ift criloon. A post-chaise and four drove into the town at a rapid rate s and stopped at the White Hart inn to change horses. A gentleman and lady al.ghted, who evinced much anxiety to proceed immediately, but, before fresh horses could be procured, the sound of wheels was heard, and the lady, apparently much terrified, darted into the Oxford Arms public house, about 30 yards from the White Hart, and directly ran up stairs. The gentleman followed her into the house. The lady having ascertained that the noise she had heard proceeded from the Oxford coach, became more composed, and they left the house together. They had, however, proceeded only a few paces, when another gentleman, who had alighted DTII the Oxford coach, collared the hdy's companion, and knocked him down without ceremony. A scene of confusion and altercation imsue.l, and the parties seemed so hostile and violent that a pe co ofileer in. terfered, each of the gentlemen giving charge of the other, and they all went into a room in the White Hart inn. In about half an hour another post.chalse and four arrived, containing the lady's mother and uncle, who immediately asserted the authority arising from their rela tionship to the care of the young lady's person, and dismissed the con. stable with a handsome present. It appeared that the young lady, w:7O is apparently about 10 years of age, and said to be an heiress entitled to 45,0001 on coming of age, had eloped with her companion, an officer in the army, from Cheltenham, on the preceding night, and was on her way to the temple of Hymen at Gretna-green, when this untoward ic terruption occurred. We understand that the gentleman who excr_ cised his prowess by knocking the gallant down, was a friend of the lady's mother, who having tired his horse in pursuit of the fair fugitiv, , had mounted the Oxford coach only a few miles from Ealing, and was thus enabled to arrive just in time to arrest her further flight. The young lady left the town to return home with her mother, about seven o'clock the same evening; and the disappointed son of Mats went to London early in the morning by one of the coaches.—Morning Paper A PARISIAN ALIVENTURESS.—The Droit throws same curious light on the proceedings of the beautiful Viscountess D'Orucner, who was lately, in conjunction with her young English lover, Sir F. B-, whose infatuation for her ha; latte:ly rendered him conspicuous at 1 - I..vre, was last week conveyed to Puri, in 'a carriage and four by a detachment of police; and on Fria ay underwent a long examination before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. This young woman, whose beauty and accomi.li:hmehts are of the first order, had been previously living in Paris in the most splendid manner, giving routs and soirees, which were attended by some of the most distinguisned of the nobility ; and it is even said by some members of the Royal Family, She is accused of swind. ling on the most extensive scale. Her real name, it appears, is Louise Criere; and the special case against her was the order ing of goods from the well-known fancy warehouse of the Pere de Famille, Rue Dauphine, as well as from a jeweller's, desir. ing them to be sent li p tmt, where they would b e pa i d for; and then on their being brought, pretended that her husband was out of the way, and desiring the person who brought the goods to call next day. On this being done, she was " not at home" to the person calling, and in the case of the first of her dupes left a note, to say that she would call at the shop next day to pay, which, however, she never did. The complainants were the only persons wanting in this case, they desisted from the prosecutions, having been paid the amount of their demands; but as the Tribunal found itself in possession of the facts of the case, it, condemned the prisoner to a month's confinement. The Driut state., the mother and father-in-law of this person are convicts in the Lulks, condemned to hard labour for life—that she is herself registered by the police among the public women or the town; and although only twenty two years of age, has already been twice condemned for th?ft. Travelling by the railroad has been thus facetiously and comprehensively described by a gentleman of .Stamford, who lately availed himself of that means of transit :—" All right I off you start ; you put your head out of the carriage window to look at the country_ get your eyes full of dust—and before you can c:ean them you're in London !" STABBING ON THE HIGH occur rences of this kind—both of which took place on board the ship f Kingston, from Jamaica—were yesterday investigated by the magistrates of the Thames police.olllce. The first case was that of a youth named Raven, who had stabbed fatally a fellow seaman, of the name of Manual, with whom he had quarrelled, and who had struck him. The second case was that of a man of colour; named Maldree, the stcwar.l, who stabbed Smith, the cook of the vessel, in the arm and sutscquentl y attempted to cut his threat; bin "WithOilt effect :. Both prisoner,:, by the advice of Mr. l'elhatnovho attended on their behalf, declined saying anything, and were remanded for further examination. NORTHERA CIRCUIT—NEweJsmr, JuLr 26 The Commissions for tl , e town and county were opened here yesterday by Mr. Baron ALDERSON. The calendar is light in the number as well as the nature of the offences, there beinr , tut nine prisoners in the town, and ten in the county. Of these, the most serious case was a manslaughter, to which the prisoner, Russell Cunningham, pleaded guilty, and in which the death of the party was, it appeared, caused by his being pushed over the hatchway of a vessel in the course of a drunken quarrel. A case also against William Sadler, stated in the calendar as a cutting and maiming, was finally reduced to a common assault, to which he pleaded guilty The light state of the calendar was a subject of congratulation by his Lordship to both the city and Grand Juries. On the Civil side there are sixteen causes entered for trial, twelve in the county, and four in the town. BOWI,BY V. HERNAMAN. This was an indictment on the prosecution of Mr. Russell Bowiby against Mr. John Hernaman, cdit6r and proprietor of the Newcastle Journal, for a libel. The libel in question was the subject of an application to the Court of Queen's Bench for a criminal information, which was refused ; and it charged Mr. Bowiby witch being an Atheist, a person without a God. After a considerable delay, during which the Counsel on both sides were in consultation, Mr. STARKIE, for the prosecution, rose and said that he thought it would not be necessary to trouble his Lordship or the Jury with the further consideration of the case, as he un derstood the Counsel on the other side were instructed to retract the imputation against Mr. Bowlby. Mr. DUNDAS then rose and said—On the part of Mr. Her naman, who is the editor of this paper, I have no hesitation in saying that he regrets extremely the paragraph in question had found its way into the paper at all. And I have also to add this, that as the words reflect upon Mr. Bowlby's religious character, he admits that Mr. Bowlby is not an Atheist, but that he has believed, and does believe, in the existence of a Supreme Being, in whom he trusts and to whom he looks up with reverence. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I trust Mr. Bowlby will see the necessity of going much further than the entertaining a bare belief in the existence of a Supreme Being. Mr. STARKIE—My Lord, in the publication in question there was a certain specific imputation against Mr. Ilowlby. It is that imputation which has now been retracted, and we did not think we could ask more. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Of course. lam glad the imputa tion has been retracted. It was a very serious one to make against any man. Friday morning Mr. Justice Williams finished the business in the town. Three unimportant cases were disposed of. DAVIDSON AND ANOTHER V. THE NORTH AND SOUTH SHIELDS FERRY COMPANY. This was an action to recover 671. 12s. Gd., the amuunt of damages sustained by a steambooat called the Hero belonging to the plaintiffs, in consequence of a collision with the steamer usod by the defendant at their ferry. After the usual contradictory evidence in these cases a ver dict was finally returned for the plaintiff. A verdict for 171. 16s. 10d. was subsequently given in another action between the same parties for an injury sustained by another steamer, the Superb, from a similar collision with the Steam Ferry. OXFORD CIRCUIT, JuLY 27. The Commission was opened in this town on the 25th by Mr. Justice Patteson, and the business commenced yesterday morn ing, concluding by to-day before twelve o'clock. The cause list contained only four entries, of which one was withdrawn. There was nothing of any further interest in those tried. The calendar contained but 15 prisoners. The grand jury found no true bill agaiiist John Fester Geech and Joseph Gardiner for forgery, owing, as the foreman stat.ll in Court, to none of the witnesses being forthcoming. This case had excited con siderable interest, Mr. Geech being an attorney in consiiier able practice at Pontypool. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 1301 V-STREET.

OF HONOUR.--Oil Tuesday last the Grand Jury of the County of Sligo dined together. During the course t the evening some " hot words" passed between Sir Jas. Crofton, Bart., and Thos. Charles M`Dermot, Esq., in consequence of which the latter, with his friend, Col, I logg, left the room. Next morning an explanation was demanded. Sir James Crofton referred Col. Hogg to his friend J. Myles M`Doline,l, Esq. 'Thos.; two gentlemen, who, amongst others, dined with the Grand Jury, and were prevent at the time the observa tions were us hap' ily brought the atPair to au amicab!e conclusion, equally honou ble and satisfactory to both parties.—Dublin Paper. The Clown Prince of Hanover is fast improving in composition. A most delightful song has just emanated from his pen. 'The Prince de Moskawa, a son of Marshal Ney, has lately composed on opera, which will be immediately brought forward at the Opera Comique, at Paris.

D------, who for some time back had lived on very bad terms with his wife, has bet n arrested on a ciiarge of having caused her death by poison. In the month of May last his wife was forced to quit him in consequence of his violent conduct, but at the persuasion of their friends she consented a short time since to return to her home. But a few days had elapsed when the reithhours of M. D—, attracted by the cries of distress. proceeding from his house, approached, and saw the husband pursuing the wife through the courtyard, and heard him threatening to kill het if she did not drink the contents of a cup which he held in his hand. At three o'clock the next morning the unfortunate woman was seen upon the balcony of the house writhing in horrible convulsions, and a, short time after she expired. On a post morton examination trac.oi of a deadly poison were found in the stomach.—Galignani's Messenger. MURDER WILL OUT !---A discovery, which has excited the attention of the curious, was lately made on the estate of Ch Wes Chaplin, Esq., at Blankney, by workmen employed to bui oil a :veral labourers' cottages. In clearing away the earth to lay the foundations, a number of human skeletons were found, deposited about three feet below the surface. One, which was entire, measured six feet in length. A very short and broad stone coffin was bared and opened ; from the curious position of the remains it contained, it would appear that previous to interment, the body had been severed in twain about themiddle of fhe abdomen, and the two portions placed side by side. Many skeletons of children were also dug up. 'The site of the discovery is about a quarter of a mile from the existing church-yard. It is surmised that this also has been a burial-place, but whether it belonged to the present or any other church a unknown. Gre..t regularity hadl been observed in disposing the bodies, and this is testimony of the spot having been consecrated to Christian interment —Lincoln Mercury.- - [This paragraph is evidently penned with a view to screen from public indignation the authors of the un.Engiish, un.Scotch, un-Irish, anti- Christian, atr tcious. diabolical, man.murdering, woman.slaying, baV killing, New Poor Law. Does any one doubt, that these human skeletons are those of a few of the miserable beings who have been sacrificed (in parliament) by the Boards of Guardians, to glut the avarice of the tate payers. See with what attention to a wretched economy, these poor bodies hare been huddled into the earth ; buried but " three feet be low the surface!" Call you that Christian burial, Mr. Liddell ? The very short and broad stone coffin" proves, beyond question, the melt,' of the Poor Law. The position of the remains it contained, showed " that previously to interment, the body had been severed in twain about the middle of the abdomen." And why thus severed ? Clearly to ascertain it' a wretched workhouse, inmate had eaten oftener titan once a week ! But what an extraordinary corroboration of Mr. Lid dell's veracity is found in the " many ske!etons of children" that were dug up. " Dark rumours were abroad" that the bodies of the Sunder land innocents were carried for interment to a distance, their remain• having been nowhere discovered in this neighbourhood; and it is now plain, they were buried at B ankn2y. While Soult is fetching the heal of Napoleon from St. Helena, it is to be hoped that Mr. Liddell will um. dei - lake a pilgrimage to Blankn2y for a like pious purpose. He will then have something to talk about when Parliament re.opens.) On Friday a distressing and truly melancholy acci d:nt happened at Port Glasgow, whereby the lives of two fine children were lost. It appears that a little boy named Millar, about ten years of age, te!ong flg to Glasgow, who was on a visit to some friends in the Port, wan in the sea bathing, off the old castle, at the time when one of the st .amers was passing . The surge from the paddles of the stearaer carried tun beyond soundings, when a girl named M'Kellar, fifteen yeat sof age, seeing the danger of the boy, dashed into the sea to hi' rescue, but we are sorr y, to add that another surge carried her 014 055- A the two children were seen sinking, locked in each others' arms. T he bodies have not yet been discovered,—Glasgow Courant. A few days since the sou of a man named DonellY , a Roman Catholic, in the employment of Mr. Archibald Sly, died, On d was interred at Clonegal, in this county. No sooner had the intermen t taken place, than a priest of a neighbouring parish proceeded to the spot, accompaniid by a body of fanatics, and ordered them to disinte r • the body and throw it on the road, that it should not be laid in con's' crated ground for two reasouslst, that the father of the deceased WO in Mr. sly's employment; and, - 2d, because Mr. Sly had attended tn . funeral—Carlow Sentinel.

Among the rooms shown in the old palace at Will' nich is & state bedchamber which was embroidered for the El:cO r Charles VII. It is stated to have employed forty persons for seve n years, and to have token 2 ,4001b5. weight of gold in the embroider,' ; nor does its appearance throw arty doubt upon the statement. " I s‘ 4 ' amused (says Mrs. Traope) by heating that when Napoleon was con ducted to this splendid bedchamber, he i ns i ste d upon having u sal° camp bed prepared for him on one side of this stupendous cane , leaving the sole occupation oC its magnificence to his empress."
